Features to know about

Enhance Your Ride Comfort: Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Springs

Say goodbye to the dreaded sag when hauling heavy loads with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Springs. These heavy-duty air springs provide up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling support, ensuring that your vehicle stays level, improving both safety and ride quality. Whether you're towing a 5th wheel camper or a trailer filled with equipment, these air springs will help maintain proper vehicle handling and braking performance by distributing weight evenly.

Customizable Support for Every Load: Adjustable Air Pressure

With an adjustable air pressure range of 5 psi to 100 psi, you can customize the support to perfectly match your load requirements. This allows for front-to-rear and side-to-side leveling, making it an ideal solution for vehicles with uneven loads. The flexibility means that even when your load changes, you can always ensure an optimal driving experience.

Durability Beyond Compare: Zytel Nylon Endcaps

Most air systems lose air due to corrosion over time, but not with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000. The endcaps are made of high-strength Zytel nylon, a material that is lighter, stronger, and more resistant to corrosion than steel. This innovative feature ensures that your air springs remain reliable and long-lasting, even in harsh conditions.

Effortless Installation: Complete Kit with Hardware Included

Installing your new air springs has never been easier thanks to the included mounting brackets, hardware, and manual inflation valves. This all-in-one kit simplifies the process, allowing you to set up and hit the road in no time. The valves are typically mounted on the bumper for easy access, but you can also add a compressor system for automatic adjustments right from your cab.

Extend Your Vehicle's Suspension Life: Load-Leveling Capacity

Designed to reduce strain on your OEM suspension, the LoadLifter 5000 distributes the weight of your payload evenly across all four wheels. This not only extends the life of your vehicle's suspension system but also prevents uneven tire wear, ensuring a longer-lasting, smoother ride.

Ultimate Peace of Mind: Lifetime Warranty and Satisfaction Guarantee

Invest in confidence with Air Lift's lifetime warranty and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Experience the benefits of enhanced safety and ride comfort, knowing that if you're not satisfied within the first 60 days, you can return the springs for a full product refund. Your vehicle deserves the best, and with Air Lift, you have it.

  • Which Air Lift Kit for 2020 Ford F-350 Towing 5th Wheel
    Hey Dan, I would go with the 5,000 lb rated part # AL35FJ for your 2020 Ford F-350 as it will give you the support you are wanting without affecting suspension height like you had read about.

  • What is the Difference in Air Lift Air Bags AL88289 and AL57289 for a 2015 Ram 2500?
    Hey Tyson! The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs item # AL88289 have a built in jounce bumper similar to a bump stop, whereas the item # AL57289 does not. These are helpful if you want to run your air bags with little or no air pressure in them. Both the Air Lift item # AL57289 and item # AL88289 fit the 2015 Ram 2500 2WD and 4WD models. They are compatible with in bed hitches as well. For an air compressor, I recommend the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System item...

  • Air Lift Rear Air Bag Kit that Fits 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon
    The Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL part # AL57289 is a fit for your 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon. I attached an install video for this on a similar 2018 Ram 2500 for you to check out as well.

  • Will Airbags Work with the Articulink Rear Suspension on a 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon
    The articulink rear suspension on your 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon will not cause any issues with a set of airbags or a 5th wheel hitch because they all install in slightly different locations on the vehicle and do not counteract one another. For a set of airbags, I recommend using the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57289 because they do not require any drilling into the truck frame and they do not interfere with the brackets for a 5th wheel hitch. The Air Lift LoadLifter...

  • Best Air Bag Kit For 2024 Ram 250 Power Wagon And PullRite SuperGlide Brackets
    Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out. Air bags are going to be the best option for this. For your 2024 Ram 2500 Power Wagon I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57289. The main reason being the air bag brackets are made to be compatible with the in-bed 5th wheel hitch brackets. This way you can beef up the suspension and level out your ride while you are towing. Then you can reduce the PSI during normal driving to get back to the normal factory ride. A lot of other...

  • Do I Need 5,000 lbs or 7,500 lbs Air Bags on a 2019 Ram 2500?
    For your 2019 Ram 2500, I recommend the 5,000 lbs Air Lift LoadLifter Air Helper Springs item # AL57289 over the higher capacity 7,500 lbs item # AL57589. 5,000 lbs capacity is more than enough for your truck. The higher capacity ones would affect the comfort of your ride when you are not towing a loaded down trailer. These air springs are compatible with in bed hitches and will keep your rear end from squatting when you are towing your 28' deck over trailer or hauling a heavy payload in...

  • Does the Air Lift Air Shock Controller Compressor System Have a Minimum Pressure Setting?
    No, It does not because item # AL25804 is for air shocks but I have one that does. The Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System for Air Helper Springs item # AL25592 has a minimum pressure setting of 5 psi which can be adjusted to 10 psi.

  • What Are The Differences Between The Air LoadLifter Air Helper Springs 5000 And 7500 XL
    Both of the Air Lift Loadlifters, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle, part # AL57289, and the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle, part # AL57589, will fit your 2022 Ram 2500. One of the differences between the two is the weight ratings are different for each option. One provides 5,000 lbs of leveling support and the other one provides 7,500 lbs of leveling support. The 7500 XL has a larger air volume, so they provide more support. You...

  • Choosing Between Air Lift Load Lifter 5000 or 7500 For 2018 Ram 2500 Towing 5th Wheel
    It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000 would be sufficient, as the pin weight of your 5th wheel is very unlikely to be more than 5000 lbs. When you're not towing, the 7500 series would make for harsher ride quality, so I'd go with the 5000. The 7500 series is better suited for folks that...

  • Is Compressor System Required for LoadLifter 5000 Springs on a 2017 Ram 2500 w/ Bilstein Shocks
    While a compressor system like the Air Lift WirelessAIR # AL74000 isn't mandatory for the Air Lift LoadLifter 5,000 Air Helper Springs # AL57289 on your 2017 Ram 2500 with Bilstein Shocks, it is definitely something that we highly recommend. Reasons being that a compressor system keeps you from having to hunt down a compressor when you need to inflate your air bags and also provides an active monitor that gives you advanced diagnostic reports so you know if you have a leak or a compression...

  • Best Suspension Enhancement For 2021 Ram 2500 With 5th Wheel Hitch to Level Ride
    Towing a 5th wheel trailer can definitely put strain on the rear of any truck, even one as robust as your 2021 Ram 2500, so suspension enhancement is always recommended. The best way to level out your Ram is with air bags, and the option that is compatible with a 5th wheel hitch are air bags from Air Lift (just keep in mind air bags won't fit if your Ram has the factory air suspension). With a 1,225 lb pin weight, you can go with the 5,000 lb capacity air bags and get the support you need;...

  • AirLift Spacers for Air Springs on Lifted Truck
    The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57289 will not require spacers with a lift under 2 inches. If you have under a 2-4 inch lift use # AL52420 and if you have 4-6 inch lift use # AL52420.

  • Which Air Lift Load Lifter 5000 Fits 2022 Ram 2500
    Most likely not as the bags are typically different sizes between vehicle fits so the best solution would be an all new Air Lift Load Lifter like the part # AL57289 which fits your 2022 Ram 2500. If you let me know what your old truck was though I can check to see if the old kit uses same bag.

  • Recommendation for Best Air Suspension Kit and On-Board Compressor for 2020 Ram 2500
    For maximum durability, go with the AirLIft Load Lifter 5000 Ultimate , part # AL88289. This system uses an internal jounce bumper for additional stability. The springs themselves are 2 ply with a reinforcing fabric layer for extra toughness. The # AL57289 regular LoadLifter 5000 kit would work fine for you but it does not have the additional stability gained from the jounce bumper. Both kits are compatible with your Ram Factory 5th Wheel prep package. Like all air bag systems, you can...

  • Helper Air Bag Springs for a 2016 Ram 2500 Towing a Fifth Wheel
    On the AirLift LoadLifter 5000 kit, part # AL88289, the jounce springs won't engage if there is some pressure in the airbags, and you aren't hitting a significant bump in the road. The jounce spring will only engage after the suspension and airbags themselves take any initial pressure. Since the airbags will require at least 5 PSI of pressure in them at all times, the jounce won't engage as often as it seems that it should.The urethane of the jounces also engages smoother than traditional...

  • What is the Unloaded Ride Quality Using Air Lift LoadLifter Air Bags on a 2017 Ram 2500
    The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers part # AL88289 could potentially affect the ride quality in a negative manner if you were to hit a dip or pot hole in the road while unloaded because of the internal jounce bumpers which is why I recommend using the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57289 instead. There will be very little to no effect on ride quality while unloaded and using these airbags. Please keep in mind that the...

  • Will Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs Increase Axle Capacity?
    The Air Lift Loadlifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57289 on your 2016 Ram 2500 (or any other suspension enhancement systems) will not increase your payload or axle capacity. The suspension enhancements like this are only intended to help support your load up to 5000 lbs for leveling. Your axle rating of 6,840 lbs will be the max capacity. These helper springs will extend the life of your current suspension, but does not increase weight.

  • Suspension Enhancement that Fits 2020 Ram 2500 that Won't Interfere with Suspension Articulation
    Since the air bag suspension enhancement kits like the # AL57289 that you referenced would limit your suspension articulation since they attach at the top and bottom of the bracket you'd be better off with a kit like the Timbren part # TDR2500D which only attaches on one side giving you the support you want without limiting suspension in anyway.

  • Recommended Air Lift Air Suspension for Rear Axle of 2016 Ram 2500
    We have two different Air Lift systems that'll work, but the right system for you will depend on how you mainly use your truck. If you tow infrequently, or carry heavy loads in the truck bed infrequently, the # AL57289 from Air Lift with its 5000 lb capacity would work well for you. If you tow or haul fairly often with heavier weights, the # AL88289 Load Lifter Ultimate would be a better choice because of its internal bump stops which help reduce body roll in turns and also prevents the...

  • Will Air Lift Air Bags Raise 2018 Ram 2500 When Unloaded
    Air bags are not really going to raise your 2018 Ram 2500 when it is unloaded, as they simply serve as a support mechanism for your current suspension; it is possible the back of your truck could ride at most an inch or so higher, but it won't serve as a lift. This is true of all air bags, including the ones you asked about from Air Lift, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57289. The air bags of the # AL57289 measure 6 inches tall as a standard, but there isn't an inflated/deflated...

  • Can Vehicle with 6 inch Lift Use Air Lift Suspension Enhancement Kit
    For vehicles with 6 inch suspension lifts you would need to use the part # F2375 which is a 6 inch spacer kit. This will work well with the Air Lift kit part # AL57289 that you referenced.

  • Recommended Air Springs and Dual Zone Compressor for 2019 Ram 2500 with In-Bed Hitch
    The Firestone kits are not compatible with in-bed hitches like your B&W. My recommendation for your application is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57289 which is compatible with in-bed hitches. Then for your compressor system I recommend the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Standard Duty - Dual Path # AL25852. This will give you the side to side adjustability for off-center loads.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch, Base Rails, & Air Bags For 2017 Ram 2500 Short Bed
    We can get your 2017 Ram 2500 short bed set up to tow a 5th wheel trailer and get it the correct air bags. First, let's go with the hitch and base rails that are the best option, which are from B&W: - B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider # BWRVK3270 - B&W Custom Installation Kit with Base Rails # BWRVK2602 The reason I like the Patriot # BWRVK3270 so much is because of the value the hitch offers; it combines the high quality B&W is known for at a price point that is better...
